In the midst of election fever, the British Science Association have teamed up with journalist Susan Watts, former science editor of Newsnight, to interview the science spokespeople from the main political parties in the run-up to the General Election on Thursday 7 May.

Science spokespeople from the major UK political parties were questioned on their policies and manifestos for the next Government if their party were to be elected. The questions are centered around the effect their policies will have on the public, and what difference they would see if a particular party were to come to power.
